Fabre (Huguenot), c.1710

CodeSculptor — 2009-10-18 20:03:16Z

Following the death of a relative, we found a Huguenot family bible, with details of Jean Fabre who married Magdellenne Caszannuvé on 6 Feb 1732 in the Episcopal Church of Rotterdam (l'eglise Ecopoise de Rotterdam).

Their children were:
Marie Magdellenne (b.21 Nov 1732)
Jean Jacques (b.11 Nov 1733)
Isaac (b.1 Feb 1735)
Susane (b.24 Jun 1736)

Magdellenne died in London 2 Mar 1741.

I'm trying to find any information I can about them, and eventually bridge the gap between them and Wilhelm Mehl (1807-1862), William Theodore Mehl (1837(Stuttgart)-1895(London)), or Alexandrin Maria DeNieures (1847(Paris)-1899(London)).

Re: Rene' Fabre

gmariefabre — 2009-08-06 18:11:12Z

I was looking at my grandparents Certificate of Marriage and saw that one of the witnesses was Rene' Fabre. My grandparents were married in the year 1919 at St. Anne Catholic Church in Youngville, LA. I was interested in Rene's Fabre because my maiden name is Fabre and my family is from that area. Mr. Fabre and I are probably kin somewhere down the line, but I don't know for sure. Anyway I decided to look up his information and this is what I found:

FABRE, Rene (Louie & Edmee ST. JULIEN) b. 11 Feb. 1882 (Youngsville Ch.: v.2 pg. 114)

If you are interested in getting in touch with me you can contact me at this address:

Re: The Fabre Family

2006-03-25 21:03:35Z

Indeed, the Mix family you mention is in my ex-wifes (Linda Elizabeth Farbre of Point Coupee Parish, La)family tree. Adina Mix was her father's mother. Adina married Audibert Fabre, Sr and gave birth to several offspring. One was Linda's father, Alfred J. Fabre, Sr born Nov 8, 1916, died May 23, 1994 in New Roads, La. Alfred married Eula Ruth Robillard, and they had 5 children, 4 sons and Linda. Linda and I married Feb 1, 1969, divorced in 2000 and had two sons-Elliot and Matthew Burleigh. Hope this helps...don burleigh

Re: Fabre Family roots

2005-01-16 00:58:59Z

Dear Christopher.
i don't have info on the Fabre that you mention but the familiarity in names is a family custom. My fathers name was Juan. an d you can find the same name in different branches of the family. Those in Spain are originally from the meridian pyrennees of France. i''l check with other cousins to see if they have more info. This past year we lost two of the eldest in trhe family who kept us abreast of information on our origins in Puerto Rico. My father knew relatives in Cuba and the Dominican Republic and Venezuela but he never mentioned names of those in Venezuela. thanks for the additional info.

Re: Fabre Family roots

2005-01-15 17:50:30Z

Miguel,
it seems you are quite familiar with the different Fabre-branches? This is not my family, by the way - just historical interest. I found information on a Joseph Pedro Marco Fabre, who died in 1797 and was born in Malaga, Spain as a child of Don Pedro Fabre and his wife Doña Ana Maria Solez. This gentleman had gone to Venezuela, got married there in Valencia, but died without children. Apparently he had a brother Juan Fabre, who also must have been living in Venezuela or close by, but that is not quite clear from the papers I have in front of me. Do you have any information on this branch????
Thanks
Christopher

Fabre dit Larosée and Tremblay

2005-12-15 10:27:45Z

I am looking for any information you might have on the marriage details between Anglique Julie Fabré dit Larosée and Jean-Baptiste Leon Tremblay. They lived in Glenngarry, Ontario and I believe married about 1852. They may have married in Massena NY where Leon was born but had not lived in quite some time.
Angelique died between 1863 and 1866. Again, I believe in Glengarry but I have not been able to find any mention of her death at the Archives of Ontario.

The spellings I have found for Leon Tremblay include Tromblay, Tremble, Tremblee and so on.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Re: Family ties

2003-03-30 06:40:52Z

Hi Emiline
Thanks for replying. If our Marchand female married your grandmother's brother the age would be about correct. Please could you find out as many details as possible as we have no leads at present. We have no idea what the female Marchand's name was except that she married a Fabre in Mauritius. She was one of 11 children. We are awaiting birth certificates to find out my grandfather's parents names as she was his sister. My grandfather's name was Stanislas Virgile Marchand. Has anyone on your side of the family traced any of the Marchand side. Looking forward to hearing from you. Please email me at marilynhyam@hotmail.com.

Re: Family ties

Marilyn hello!
I did have a great-uncle of that name - my grandmother's brother. That generation has died but I think that I can find out from the remaining family that information.
There are 2 members left of my father's generation and they may know.
Where are you, do you have a family? I have a son who has the name Fabre, to keep the name alive!
Take care!

Re: The Fabre Family

I too would like to know a bit more about our name. My parents came from Cuba and I've been in the Military for 17 years and have found about three Fabre's in the Army. This is verified by using a locator system. I'm proud to say that my name is rare. Every time my name is called I know for sure it's me they are calling and no one els.

Rosa Fabre

2002-12-29 16:51:24Z

Seeking info on Rosa Fabre

According to her 2 obits:
Rosa was born in 1809 in Lafourche, Assumption Parish. Her father was George Fabre deTarde (I'm not sure what the "deTarde" refers to). Her husband was Joseph Danove. They moved to New Orleans in October 1844, after her father sold their plantation. Three children survived her - Mrs. Thomas Froeba, Angel/Angele/Angelicia Danove Marx and Dominique C. Danove. She died 2/10/1908. (I have copies of both of her obits, one of which has her picture and touts her as "New Orleans' oldest white woman".)

According to the 1800 LA census:
Rosa was born in 1816. She was living with her son in law, Adolph Marx, her Daughter Angel and their 7 children.

All info (with the exception of Rosa's age) in the census, names, ages, birth places, occupations, etc. agrees with info that I have accumulated from other sources.

Any info appreciated. Willing to share what I have.

Si el origen de nuestro apellido es Frances pero esta tambien en España y en Italia. Mi hermana vive en Valencia España y yo en Puerto Rico donde el primer Fabre llegó en 1916 de nombre Jorge. Tambien en mi familia abundan los José, Rosa, Antonio, Juan, Genveva y otros que observo en los Fabre de otros paises. si entran a ICQ.com pueden encontrarse con otros Fabre de distintas partes del mundo. Donde mas abunda nuestro apellido es en la zona central de los Pirineos en Francia allí los hay por grandes cantidades pero en Thailandia los hay y hasta en Africa del Sur donde me comunico con Emiline Murday Fabre.

Sherry,

My father is Exodus Adam Fabre, and I am Jennifer's half sister. I am also searching for my roots. I am very interested in your grandmother, Pauline Maturin. My mother was Ada Marie Maturin. Her father, my grandfather was called Villier Maturin. He married Synthia Gary (She did not have any siblings. Her parents died in a fire when she was a small child. She was raised by an aunt). They are both deceased. My grandfather had several brothers and sisters. Did your grandmother marry one of his brothers/Cousins? I would love to know more about the Fabre family and Maturin Family. I believe one of Exodus's sisters was my God Mother, I don't know her name. I would like to make as many connections as possible so I can meet my family.

This is GREAT News! I live about 70 miles west of Houston, towards Austin. My e-mail address is: ghart@ci.brenham.tx.us
Joseph Fabre that died in an auto accident, probably around 1948-49-50 would have been my grandfather. His wife's was Hortense Broussard. I met my father (Exodus Adam) 2 years ago. I just recently found out that I have 3 half sisters and 2 half brothers. Sadly, one of the brothers passed away. I hope we can share information. I would love to know more about a family that didn't exist for me until 3 years ago. By the way, I was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1947. Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Information on the Fabre origin

MBrjn1 — 2004-09-11 16:49:08Z

Miguel the information you provided here may be very helpful in my wife's search to find her ancestors ... My wife's father told her hat his mother's last name was Velez-Fabres ... She lived in Puerto Rico (We believe in Yauco since all of the family on both sides claim to come from Yauco) ... Her father could not provide much in the way of information but he did say this prtion of the family was from Corsica which has been under French Rule since the days of Napolean ... I am now wondering whether Francesco was somehow one of my wife's ancestors? ... At any rate if you could suggest other resources I would greatly appreciate it or you could send the inforamtion directly to my wife's e-mail address ... Her name is Nancy ... Nay2749@aol.com ...

Re: Saludos a todos los Fabres - Hy Fabre family

Hi Miguel:

My wife's paternal grandmother who lived in Yauco, Puerto Rico had the last name Velez-Fabre. This is my wife's father's (Adrian Claudio) mother ... We were told she or her husband migrated to Puerto Rico from the island of Corsica (French rule) but originally under the rule of Italy (specifically, Genoa) ... My wife would be very happy to receive any information on her family roots because presently she has no information on her genealogy (including her mother's family).
My e-mail address is listed above ... My wife (who speaks fluent Spanish) can be contacted at Nay2749@aol.com ... Her name is Nancy ...

I have just seen your posting and wondered if you were related to the Fabre that married a Marchand in Mauritius. We know that one of the 11 Marchand children married a Fabre but have not identified which one. Does this tie in with your research. Some of the Marchand children went to South Africa of which one was my grandfather Stanislas Virgile Marchand who married Marie I'dea Goder. Please contact me.
